Weekly Wednesday Challenge!!!

Happy Hump Day!!!!

We are back with another challenge!! It was my pick this week, but I kinda forgot to pick something til last minute, so it turned into an "Anything Goes as Long as it is a LO" Challenge! LOL

I had some major scrap-block when I sat down to do my LO. I couldn't decide on anything. I started milk and cookies LO, didn't like it. Then I started a Princess LO, couldn't get into it. After a couple hours (literally) I decided I would take the FIRST paper stack off the top of my pile and make something with that, no matter what! Well, it happen to be an "All Season's" pack by Recollections. So I flipped thru it, and liked the Fall colors. Within 2 minutes, I knew what I was doing, what pic I was going to use and had it all laid out, minus the piecings!  Now, I am still missing the pic, so bare with me. LOL

Here is the pic that will go on this LO:

And here is my LO:

Pretty fitting, right?? LOL I used the "A Bunch of Turkeys" file from Treasure Box Designs.

I am pretty impressed with how it came out, especially considering the issues I had before hand! :)

Jennifer decided to start her Project Life adventure, and I am pretty impressed with her first "LO"!! PL seems way too overwhelming to me, so I have yet to start it, but her pages make me want to do it real bad!!!

For all the deets on her PL adventure, head to her blog, Creative Cricut Designs!
Also, be sure to check out her fan page, Creative Cricut Designs to see more of her work!!

As always, you can see more of my work on my fan page, CBC Scrapbooking and you can place your custom orders thru there as well!

Have a scrap happy day!!!!!!

Weekly Wednesday Challenges are BACK!!!!

Happy Hump Day!!!!

After a much too long break (my fault, stupid surgery and all lol), Creative Cricut Designs & CBC Scrapbooking are BACK with our Weekly Wednesday Challenge!!

For today's theme, Jennifer chose "Fall", plain and simple.

I have a cute picture of my daughter Maddie from last Fall at the pumpkin patch. I decided to scrap a page for that pic. Of course, my printer was out of Cyan ink, so I will share the pic with you, as it is not on my LO!

It was taken on a phone, so not the best quality, but I love how happy she looks!

For my LO, I used a couple pieces from Scrapping Bug Designs.

The bears and title are from "Pick of the Patch". I did have to rearrange the title a bit to fit my LO.

I finally just bought a rotary paper trimmer the other day. (I have wanted one forever!) And bought the scallop interchangable blade as well. I am in love!! I did the scallop edges on the green strip in under a minute!

Here is Jennifer's LO!

For all the details and to see more pics, please visit her BLOG and give her some lovin'.

Until next time, thanks for stopping by and have a scrap happy day!

For my project, I made a 2 page LO featuring 2 of my lil' punkins (back in the day, so far back, these were the only 2 punkins I had! lol)

I used 2 files from Treasure Box Designs, the new & the old Pumpkin Village files! The boys in the pumpkins and the smaller pumpkins are all from "Halloween Village, Country Punkin Inn", which is now retired and the fence and title are from the new "Pumpkin Patch Village" file.

The pics are from a few years back, LOL, and I still have to do my journaling, but by golly, I will get all these albums done!! One day........ lol
